Draupadi's Beauty

Complexion that shone as the rain-bearing sky,
The cascading tresses and those lotus-like eyes,
The ripe-red lips that caused every fruit’s bow,
The bow-shaped lashes on a winsome brow,
The neck that hath wrested the grace of a conch,
Her youthful laughter, what music did it launch,
The great archer arches to Her rapturous smile,
Her blue-lotus fragrance that rules over miles,
The flaw-less skin about her creeper like frame,
Was she the Creator, or Creator’s Divine game?

Such was Krishnaa the Princess of Panchal!
Notes:
..rain bearing sky - She was dark complexioned(hence called Krishnaa)
..caused every fruit's bow - Lips so red that they won the admiration of the most ripe fruits
The great archer arches.. - Arjuna who bows to her highly attractive smile
..Fragrance that rules over miles - She blessed with a fragrance that spread over miles
(hence she was called yojanagandha)

Dark complexioned, yet glowing, bestowed with flawless features, Draupadi was an unparalleled beauty. The beauty stunned every person who met her, beyond measures. That combined with her immense intelligence, mastery over arts, political science and all so well balanced with touching nobility and humility- the perfection was nothing short of Divine.
